5/27/2010 10:09:18 PMAnother one of your fabulous bird photographs, this one has some action of him getting ready for a dive, excellent dof(just a thought, IMO you are far from being amateur, with these photographs you do, I would consider you a professional, yet your bio page says different), gorgeous colors of all his feathers, great job done.

Thank you for sharing,

1/25/2010 12:34:55 PMBarb I must be losing it I thought I knew or once knew all the North America Waterfowl. I looked them up and they do come down this way. Excellent find and capture. I corrected the name. I have lost it. 
RPLYPhotographer1/25/2010 4:46:41 PMHi Robert..yes, the Harliquin ducks winter over at Barnagat Lighthouse in Southern NJ..I've gone down there to photograph
them the last 3 winters..but OMG its a long walk out to the point on the jetty rocks..and most days its very cold and windy..we were lucky this last trip it was a sunny winter day and around 50 degrees..We'll finally be off to see my sister in
Florida end of the week..Stay well..Barb
